第二次人口统计

26 瘟疫过后,耶和华对摩西和亚伦祭司的儿子以利亚撒说: “你们要统计以色列全体会众,按宗族登记所有二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子。” 摩西和以利亚撒祭司就在约旦河边、耶利哥对面的摩押平原对以色列人说: “你们要按照耶和华的吩咐统计二十岁以上的男子。”

以下是从埃及出来的以色列人。

以色列的长子是吕便,吕便的子孙有哈诺族、法路族、 希斯伦族和迦米族, 共登记了四万三千七百三十人。 法路的儿子是以利押, 以利押的儿子是尼姆利、大坍和亚比兰。大坍、亚比兰原是会众所推选的首领,他们与可拉一伙一起反叛摩西和亚伦,反叛耶和华, 10 以致大地裂开将他们全部吞了下去,当时大火还烧灭了二百五十人——成了后人的警戒。 11 然而,可拉的子孙没有被灭绝。

12 西缅的子孙有尼姆利族、雅悯族、雅斤族、 13 谢拉族和扫罗族, 14 共登记了两万二千二百人。

35 以法莲的子孙有书提拉族、比结族和他罕族。 36 书提拉的子孙有以兰族。 37 这些是以法莲各宗族,共登记了三万二千五百人,都是约瑟的子孙。

38 便雅悯的子孙有比拉族、亚实别族、亚希兰族、 39 书反族和户反族。 40 比拉的子孙有亚勒族和乃幔族。 41 这些是便雅悯各宗族,共登记了四万五千六百人。

51 登记的以色列男子共有六十万一千七百三十人。

52 耶和华对摩西说: 53 “你要按着各支派登记的人数把土地分给他们作产业; 54 人数多的多分产业,人数少的少分产业,要按登记的人数分配。 55 以色列人要按各自的支派抽签分地,承受产业。 56 无论大小支派,都要用抽签的方法分配产业。”

57 利未的子孙有革顺族、哥辖族和米拉利族。 58 立尼族、希伯仑族、玛利族、姆示族和可拉族也是利未的子孙。哥辖生暗兰。 59 暗兰的妻子叫约基别,是利未女子,出生在埃及。她给暗兰生了亚伦、摩西和他们的姐姐米利暗。 60 亚伦生拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒和以他玛。 61 拿答和亚比户因用凡火向耶和华献祭而被击杀。 62 利未人中一个月以上的男性共登记了两万三千人,他们的人数没有登记在以色列人中,因为他们在以色列人中不分产业。

63 以上是摩西和以利亚撒祭司在约旦河边、耶利哥对面的摩押平原统计的人数, 64 其中没有一个是摩西和祭司亚伦从前在西奈旷野登记的人。 65 因为耶和华说过,那批人都要死在旷野。果然,除了耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚以外,上次登记的人无一存活。

A Census of the New Generation

26 After the plague the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, ‘Take a census of the whole congregation of the Israelites, from twenty years old and upwards, by their ancestral houses, everyone in Israel able to go to war.’ Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying, ‘Take a census of the people,[a] from twenty years old and upwards’, as the Lord commanded Moses.

These are the same Dathan and Abiram, chosen from the congregation, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they rebelled against the Lord, 10 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; and they became a warning. 11 Notwithstanding, the sons of Korah did not die.

35 These are the descendants of Ephraim according to their clans: of Shuthelah, the clan of the Shuthelahites; of Becher, the clan of the Becherites; of Tahan, the clan of the Tahanites. 36 And these are the descendants of Shuthelah: of Eran, the clan of the Eranites. 37 These are the clans of the Ephraimites: the number of those enrolled was thirty-two thousand five hundred.

44 The descendants of Asher by their families: of Imnah, the clan of the Imnites; of Ishvi, the clan of the Ishvites; of Beriah, the clan of the Beriites. 45 Of the descendants of Beriah: of Heber, the clan of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the clan of the Malchielites. 46 And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. 47 These are the clans of the Asherites: the number of those enrolled was fifty-three thousand four hundred.

51 This was the number of the Israelites enrolled: six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.

52 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 53 To these the land shall be apportioned for inheritance according to the number of names. 54 To a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance; every tribe shall be given its inheritance according to its enrolment. 55 But the land shall be apportioned by lot; according to the names of their ancestral tribes they shall inherit. 56 Their inheritance shall be apportioned according to lot between the larger and the smaller.

57 This is the enrolment of the Levites by their clans: of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathites; of Merari, the clan of the Merarites. 58 These are the clans of Levi: the clan of the Libnites, the clan of the Hebronites, the clan of the Mahlites, the clan of the Mushites, the clan of the Korahites.

63 These were those enrolled by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who enrolled the Israelites in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho. 64 Among these there was not one of those enrolled by Moses and Aaron the priest, who had enrolled the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had said of them, ‘They shall die in the wilderness.’ Not one of them was left, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
